“the Power of 3” opens in Murray Gallery today

The exhibit “the Power of 3” open in LLCC’s James S. Murray Gallery today! It showcases artwork from Sharon Carter; Diane Wilson, marketing manager, LLCC Foundation; and Wilma Wofford. The public is invited to view the exhibit weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Oct. 10 and attend a reception on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 5:30 p.m.

“Omne trium perfectum” is a Latin phrase which means everything that comes in threes is perfect, or every set of three is complete. Carter, Wilson and Wofford chose to show their work together because of both the commonalities and differences that make the presentation complete and perfect. They relate in commonality as three women, who are three artists. The differences come in the form of three unique styles. The artists hope the combined works will boost the memory of the audience and help viewers appreciate and remember the power of fine art.
